Issue Error Upgrading MariaDB on CentOS 7

[morphx]

Server operating system version

CentOS Linux 7.9.2009 (Core)

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.68_build1800250228.09

While trying to upgrade MariaDB 5.5.68 the process stops at the "Updating the server configuration" step with this error message:

Plesk\DatabaseServer\Upgrade\MariaDbCompatibility::getIncludedConfigFiles(): Argument #2 ($path) must be of type string, null given, called in /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DatabaseServer/Upgrade/MariaDbCompatibility.php on line 130

Make sure you don't have any other MariaDB repos in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory

I have just one: mariadb.repo

[mariadb-main]
name = MariaDB Server
baseurl = https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/mariadb-server/10.5/yum/rhel/7/x86_64
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

[mariadb-tools]
name = MariaDB Tools
baseurl = Tools/rhel/7/x86_64/ - MariaDB
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Enterprise-GPG-KEY
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

Just guessing, but it doesn't look like a real database server update on the console, but an attempt to use the Plesk database server upgrade. However, as CentOS 7 is long end of life, this will probably not work, because Plesk does not support EOL operating systems. You can try to update the database server manually as described on the "Manual Procedure" tab of https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...-5-to-5-6-5-7-or-MariaDB-5-5-to-10-x-on-Linux

@Bitpalast well, that's exactly what I was trying to avoid: a manual update.
I guess I'll have to give that try then.

 

[morphx]

One question though: should I try to upgrade to AlmaLinux instead?
I guess that would make things... easier?

 

[Bitpalast]

Upgrade by migration to another server: Yes
Upgrade by in-place-upgrade: No

Got it. Thanks for all the information.
